"What if..." question tend to introduce FUD. I think you will have
no trouble finding quite definite statements that AdaCore,
like other Ada shops, make sure that their customers won't have any
licensing issues.

As Hyman Rosen has said, it will be judges making judgments on the
licensing state of software based on available evidence etc.
This requires a case.
All of this might not appear in c.l.ada. :-)
